| 352 Oil pressure trouble |
| By Glenn - 08/26/2003 7:13:56 PM; IP 67.162.82.92 |
HELP ! I put together my 352 and pre-oiled it with a drill. didn't have a gauge hooked up but there was plenty of resistnace and oil flowed out of the rocker shafts. I started the engine for the first time and after getting the timing and carb set where it would run I looked over at the pressure and it was about 5 pounds. I stopped the engine and pulled the distributor. Put the drill back in and it turns with little resistance and oil pressure only goes up to 15 psi at 2400 drill rpm. Thats equal to 15 psi at 4800 crank rpm. I'm probably gonna have to pull the engine but if anyone has something I may have overlooked please let me know. I figure a gallery plug blew out or the relief valve in the pump is stuck open. Thoughts ??
Thanks....
